Differential Influence of Components Resulting from Atmospheric-Pressure Plasma on Integrin Expression of Human HaCaT Keratinocytes

Table 1

Cell number of HaCaT keratinocytes and integrin expression on the cell surface 24 h after exposure to different stimuli. Cells were either treated for 300 s with DBD/air plasma (6 independent experiments), DBD/argon plasma (8 independent experiments), hydrogen peroxide (6 independent experiments), or ozone (2 independent experiments), which was generated by a Laboratory Ozonizer and monitored by FT-IR. Results are expressed as % of untreated cells for plasma treatment and % of oxygen (100%) treated cells for ozone. n.d.: not determined.
